I remember daddy's hands folded silently in prayer

Years of work and worry had left their mark behind

But I'll always remember the love in daddy's hands

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'

There was always love in daddy's hands.
Verse 3

I remember daddy's hands workin' 'til they bled

Sacrifised unselfishly just to keep us all fed

And never take for granted the love in daddy's hands
